The best way is to find the centre of surface of planar area. Then the force due to hydrostatic pressure will be:
F = d h0 g S,
where:
F is force,
d is density of fluid,
h0 is depth at the centre of surface,
S is surface of the area.
It works because when we consider the centre of surface, there will exactly as much surface with lesser pressure effecting on it as there is surface below the centre point where the pressure is higher.
The net force vector will be perpendicular to the area at the centre of surface point.

What is a inclined plane and example?
An example of an inclined plane is a ramp, slanted road, or a slide. An inclined plane is a surface that is at an angle against a horizontal surface.
Define Inclined Plane?
The inclined plane is a plane surface set at an angle, other than a right angle, against a horizontal surface. The inclined plane permits one to overcome a large resistance by applying a relatively small force through a longer distance than the load is to be raised.
Why is a ramp a n inclined plane?
A ramp is an inclined plane because an inclined plane is a set of a surface set at an angle that is not a right angle. In which a ramp is an inclined plane!
Is the wheels on your chair an inclined plane?
No they are not. An inclined plane is a flat surface which has a slope to it i.e. it is flat but not level.
What is the effort force of a inclined plane?
the force used to push the object up the plane.
